So I finished first in a weekly contest at Covers and thought I won a $250 Free Play with 6X rollover at BetJamaica, I understood the rules as all it takes for full prize eligibility is $100 in action for the complete 2011 season but Herman told me it is $100 weekly so thus only got 25% which is $62.50.

Here are the rules below:

Prize Requirements & Eligibility:

· All winners must have a registered BetJamaica account.
To be eligible for the Top 10 and Grand Prizes, all accounts must have wagered a minimum of $100 in real money wagers at BetJamaica after March 31st, 2011 and prior to September 1st, 2011 otherwise you will receive 25% of the free play value
· Weekly winners must have a registered BetJamaica account and have made at least $100 in real money wagers at BetJamaica during the 2011 MLB regular season. *Your wager must be made any time before Saturday 1pm EST of your prize winning week otherwise you will receive 25% of the free play value.
· 6x rollover required on all contest prizes (except for the Grand Prize). For example if you win the weekly $250 prize you will need to wager $250x 6 for a total of $1500 in the sportsbook before you can request a withdrawal.
· Prizes are awarded as BetJamaica Free Play Betting Accounts
· Only one account per household/ IP address, multiple accounts not allowed. ID may be requested for account verification

The way I read it is you should get the $250 FP. It says for a weekly winner $100 must be bet during the MLB season.

That is how I see it also!

I went ahead and took a shot and filed a dispute.

Fookers, I won my three team parlay with my $62.50 Free Play, would have been four times more if I had gotten the full $250 Free Play!

Hey GM,
I think youre going to have to run our complaint through Covers since it was their contest. Not that we don't want to help but being a promo with a third party, have to check with them about if their wires were crossed. Congrats on the win.

But would you have went deep down field if you didn't feel you were behind?

*Your wager must be made any time before Saturday 1pm EST of your prize winning week otherwise you will receive 25% of the free play value.

Does this bit apply to you?

Just mentioned the forum, wasn't promoting it, fwiw, I think SBR is head and shoulders above Covers!

[GamblingMike]

I don't think it should because I met the requirements the way I understood them and many have interpreted them the same as I did.

Covers is a scam site

Mike I am surprised your even associated with that site

I only go there to play some contests that are run by reputable books like BetJamaica and JustBet, that is the only quality of Covers.

[RudyRuetigger]

I agree, classy response by dozer here

[ouman101]

I would have interpreted the rules the same as you did. Sounds like a piss poor excuse to not pay you.

[ROYAJA8]

It really sounds liked they hustled you. I don't blame them though look at the nice 3 team parley hit. your going to kill their books if they give you $250.

LOL, true.
